A Piece of NCAA Final Four Visits Norcross

The public got to play games and check out the same game floor that will be used in the Final Four of the 2013 NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament that is played at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Lakers center Theo Ratliff was a special guest.

Basketball fans in the area were invited Wednesday morning to check out the same game floor that will be used for the NCAA Final Four games April 6 and 8 at the Georgia Dome.

A special UPS flat-bed truck, branded with the 2013 Final Four and 75th Anniversary logos, delivered the floor to CBA Sports, located off Medlock Bridge Road in Norcross. CBA Sports is a commercial sports court specialist company that is also the official floor provider for the Final Four in Atlanta.

The public was more than welcome to play basketball on the court and shoot some hoops with each other and Lakers center Theo Ratliff.
